A Stranger's Knowledge: Statesmanship, Philosophy & Law in Plato's Statesman

Xavier Márquez

4.9/5 (17046 ratings)

Description:The Statesman is a difficult and puzzling Platonic dialogue. In A Stranger's Knowledge M rquez argues that Plato abandons here the classic idea, prominent in the Republic, that the philosopher, qua philosopher, is qualified to rule. Instead, the dialogue presents the statesman as different from the philosopher, the possessor of a specialist expertise that cannot be reduced to philosophy. The expertise is of how to make a city resilient against internal and external conflict in light of the imperfect sociality of human beings and the poverty of their reason. This expertise, however, cannot be produced on demand: one cannot train statesmen like one might train carpenters. Worse, it cannot be made acceptable to the citizens, or operate in ways that are not deeply destructive to the city's stability. Even as the political community requires his knowledge for its preservation, the genuine statesman must remain a stranger to the city.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
